Micropipette (Microcapillary) Options Summary

Micropipette Parts MGM 1A-D are pre-pulled from borosilicate glass tubes providing available tip inner diameters (ID) from 0.3 to 70 µm, base outer diameters (OD) 1, 1.2 or 1.5 mm, lengths 4.5 or 5.5 cm, and 0.17 mm wall thicknesses, depending on the customer's request. Micropipettes generally cost $489 for 30 pipettes (microcapillaries) that are pre-pulled from borosilicate glass tubes with 1 or 1.5 mm base outer diameters, 4.5 or 5.5 cm lengths and 0.17 mm wall thicknesses.

Pipettes with calibrated long tapers with custom tip IDs generally cost $519-$560. Mixtures of pipette tip sizes in a 30 pack order can be requested at additional cost (+$30 for two tip sizes, +$60 for 3 tip sizes).

100 pipettes/pack: $1229 for most part numbers.

Default Pipette Specifications: Unless requested, default specifications for base OD, length and filament are as follows: 1mm base OD, 5.5 cm length, WITH internal filament. (The internal filament is a thin glass rod in the interior of the pipette barrel that provides an additional surface and assists with siphoning and dispensiing).

Please order online or contact us for quotes: (For quotes, please email: customersupport@fivephoton.com). Please specify inner diameter - base OD - with or without internal filament- regular or long taper - 30 or 100 pieces per pack.
